The Company’s GAAP operating results for three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2011, were significantly reduced by certain non-routine expenses, which primarily included a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $25.1 million. There was minimal tax benefit associated with this charge. The goodwill impairment charge reflects the Company’s fair market value determined as a result of the selection of a merger partner.

 

On January 26, 2012, the Company announced its definitive merger agreement under which Tompkins Financial Corporation will acquire VIST Financial Corp.  VIST Bank will operate as a subsidiary of Tompkins Financial with a separate banking charter, local management team, and local Board of Directors. The transaction is expected to close early in the third quarter of 2012, subject to required regulatory approvals and other customary conditions, including required shareholder approval.

 

The goodwill impairment charge, which was fully disclosed to Tompkins Financial during the due diligence process, is a non-cash adjustment which has no effect on cash flows, liquidity or tangible capital. Additionally, since goodwill is excluded from regulatory capital, the impairment charge has no impact on regulatory capital ratios. The Company continues to exceed requirements to be considered “well capitalized” in accordance with regulatory capital standards.

 



 

“Our company continued to make measurable progress in our core earnings in 2011”, said VIST Financial President and CEO Robert D. Davis.  “Looking forward, the affiliation with Tompkins will present opportunities for VIST customers and shareholders. I am very pleased with the chemistry between the two organizations.  Both have a rich history of serving our clients as a trusted advisor and serving our communities as an outstanding corporate citizen.”  Davis continued, “Partnering with Tompkins will bring increased financial services capabilities for our clients, while enabling VIST to continue our local identity as an independent bank serving our community for more than a century.  VIST shareholders will receive an attractive premium to the recent market price and the opportunity to invest in one of the region’s premier financial services companies with a strong record of growth in dividends and earnings.”

 

Declaration of Cash Dividend

 

The Corporation reported that the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per share on the Company’s common stock to shareholders of record on February 20, 2012 payable February 27, 2012.

 

VIST Financial Corp. is diversified financial services company headquartered in Wyomissing, PA, offering banking, insurance, investments, and wealth management services throughout Berks, Southern Schuylkill, Montgomery, Delaware, Philadelphia and Chester Counties.

 

NOTE:  This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).  For purposes of this release, management has used the non-GAAP measure of core earnings in its analysis of the Company’s performance. This measure, as used by the Company in this press release, adjusts net income determined in accordance with GAAP to exclude the effects of special items that are non-recurring or do not relate directly to the Company’s core operating performance, including the goodwill impairment relating to the Company’s selection of a merger partner, expenses incurred in connection with the Company’s Form S-1 filed during 2011, and net realized gains or losses on securities transactions.  Because certain of these items and their impact on the Company’s performance are difficult to predict, management believes presentation of financial measures excluding the impact of such items provides useful supplemental information in evaluating the operating results of the Company’s core business. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

 

This release may contain forward-looking statements with respect to the Company’s beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, estimates, and intentions that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, and are subject to change based on various factors, some of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company.

 

Quarterly Earnings Conference Call

 

As a result of the pending merger agreement with Tompkins Financial, there will be no quarterly earnings conference call.
